Homesteading Farm Health Adventures

No Comments

Wondering how many people would be interested in a Homesteading Farm Health Adventure? 

Im thinking of a time and space for people to come to for a day, a weekend, or week. Sort of like the WWOOF Program where people come to work in exchange for room and board and a learning experience. Only this will be more of a Learning and Exercise experience. Gosh knows we get our exercise! Carrying Water and Feed Buckets, moving Electric Fences, Caring for the Animals, etc. 

Not sure if it’d be a paid, or volunteer, situation and that could probably depend on the needs of the person and what’s required or expected. I know that the activities we do here keep us in shape, I know that their are people who’d love the opportunity to spend time with the animals, and now I’m wondering how much interest there is? 

Interested? Post your comments below, or call Brian at 902-907-0770

Our Goats are Looking for Your Christmas Tree-Eats

No Comments

Goats enjoy eating Christmas trees, and the trees provide a natural, nutritious treat. If you’re looking for an environmentally friendly way to discard your Christmas tree please remember our goats. Please call Brian at 902-907-0770. 

Benefits for Goats:

1.Rich in Vitamins: needles are high in Vitamin C and other nutrients.

2.Natural Dewormer: Some types may help with parasite control.

3.Entertainment: Climbing on and nibbling the tree keeps goats engaged.

Guidelines:

•Check for Chemicals: Only untreated trees (no pesticides, paint, or fire retardants) are safe for goats.

•Remove Decorations: All ornaments, hooks, tinsel, and lights must be removed.

•Safe Tree Types: Fir, spruce, and pine are generally safe. Avoid yew, as it’s toxic.

We’re located at Briden Farm, in Bear River, Nova Scotia. Since we’re difficult to find and somewhat isolated at the time of Year, We’ve made arrangements and for Your convenience, Trees may be dropped off beside the Barn at 6907 Sissiboo Road, Bear River, Nova Scotia, B0S1B0. Or call Brian at 902-907-0770 for possible pickup. 

Would you like help finding a local farm that accepts Christmas trees? If you’re not in the Bear River area, but have trees, please let us know and we’ll try to connect you with a local homestead or farm. If You’re a Homesteader, or Farmer, who’d like Trees, please let us know. 

Thanks in Advance, Happy New Year!
